In this profoundly moving episode of Metabolic Matters, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Dr. Christina Bjorndal, ND — a naturopathic doctor, best-selling author, and survivor of some of life’s deepest challenges, including bipolar disorder type 1, psychosis, multiple suicide attempts, and cancer. Through her lived experience and decades of clinical work, Dr. Chris has become a guiding light in integrative mental health, showing that true healing is possible when we embrace every part of ourselves — body, mind, and spirit.

Drawing from her book Beyond the Label and her decades of clinical practice, Dr. Chris reveals how she rebuilt her own “health house” from the ground up, weaving together physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing. Her story is one of resilience, radical self-compassion, and courage — a reminder that we are never too broken to heal.

Together, Dr. Nasha and Dr. Chris explore:

• The truth behind mental health “labels” — and why they don’t define who you are
• How trauma, love, and self-acceptance shape the path to recovery
• The four pillars of whole-person health and how to strengthen your “health house”
• The role of surrender, intuition, and spirituality in the healing process
• How to move from self-criticism to self-compassion and reclaim your vitality

In this episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with Nina Teicholz, Ph.D. — investigative science journalist, bestselling author of The Big Fat Surprise, and founder of the Nutrition Coalition. Nina’s fearless work has challenged decades of nutrition dogma, exposed the shaky science propping up our national dietary guidelines, and sparked a global rethink of how we eat. Her reporting on seed oils and trans fats pulled back the curtain on how industry, politics, and media shaped what we’ve been told about food — and why so much of it was wrong. What began as a single assignment became a decades-long investigation into fat, food, and the politics of nutrition science.

Upcoming Event

I am thrilled to share that Nina Teicholz, Ph.D. will be joining us as a special guest at the Metabolic Health Day Conference, happening October 9–11, 2025.

In this episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with my dear friend Robby Besner, PSc.D. — philanthropist, innovator, and Co-Founder of Therasage. Robby’s journey began as a father searching for answers after his daughter was diagnosed with Lyme disease. That urgency, heartbreak, and fierce love gave birth to what has now become a global movement in infrared healing technologies.Together, we explore the science and soul behind healing: how subtle energies like sunlight, frequency, and vibration are not just wellness trends but the very blueprint of health. Robby reminds us that healing is not linear — it’s a living relationship between our cells, our spirit, and the environments we inhabit.

In this episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with Mark Young — serial entrepreneur, CEO of Ryze Agency and Zona Health, and author of Radical Generosity. From starting businesses at 16 to leading purpose-driven companies today, Mark’s journey is proof that true success is measured not by what we gain, but by what we give.

Mark reminds us that leadership, health, and impact are inseparable — and that generosity, when rooted in gratitude, is the most radical path to both personal and professional transformation .

In this deeply moving episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with my dear friend and colleague, Gail Fuller, a farmer, healer, and visionary who has redefined what it means to steward both land and life. Gail’s journey took him from running a 3,200-acre industrial corn and soybean operation to nurturing a 162-acre regenerative food farm. Along the way, he discovered that true healing—whether of soil, food, or self—begins with remembering our relationship to nature.

What unfolds in our conversation is not just about farming. It’s about trauma and truth, community and courage, soil and soul. Gail courageously shares his personal reckoning with mental health and the silent crisis faced by farmers across America, reminding us that healing our land and healing ourselves are inseparable journeys.

I am thrilled to share that Gail will be joining us as a speaker at the Metabolic Health Day Conference, happening October 9–11, 2025. Alongside leading voices in medicine, science, and ecology, Gail will help us explore how reconnecting with the land can transform our health from the ground up.

What happens when a top-tier radiation oncologist walks away from a thriving career to pursue a deeper truth in healing?

In this powerful and profoundly moving conversation, Dr. Nasha Winters is joined by Dr. Katie Deming, a board-certified radiation oncologist, TEDx speaker, and founder of Make Mary, a line of healing garments for women with cancer. Together, they dive into the intersection of science, spirit, and systems—and the life-altering experiences that led Dr. Deming to redefine what it truly means to heal.

Dr. Deming shares her transformational journey from conventional medicine into holistic healing after a shared-death experience cracked open her worldview. She reflects on the power of intuitive knowing, trauma’s role in disease, and the importance of language in cancer care—including her deep discomfort with the word “survivor” and the problematic battle metaphors often used in oncology.

This is a heartfelt, hopeful episode that reminds us healing is possible—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• How a shared-death experience inspired Dr. Deming to leave Western medicine

• Why words like “survivor” can unintentionally harm patients—and what to say instead

• The profound role of emotional trauma and the nervous system in chronic disease

• How German New Medicine and Psych-K inform her new model of care

• The transformational potential of prolonged water fasting, not just physically but spiritually

What if the prescription for better health started in the soil—not the pharmacy?

In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Neil Smith, regenerative agriculture advisor, farmer, and co-founder of the Grow blockchain project (kohima.io). With decades of hands-on experience and a mission rooted in abundance, Neil is helping farmers—and communities—redefine what it means to heal, from the land up.

From soil remediation to landscape restoration, and from decentralized systems to local food sovereignty, Neil shares how Web3 technologies are creating new opportunities for farmers to reclaim their data, their profits, and their purpose. It’s a conversation about systems thinking, global health, and why healthy soil is the most overlooked cornerstone of public wellness.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

• Why Neil believes regenerative agriculture is a “system of systems” that holds the key to true health and resilience.

• How blockchain and decentralization are empowering farmers to own their data and transform the food supply chain.

• The emotional and financial obstacles traditional farmers face—and how Neil guides them through change with compassion and strategy.

• Why the food you eat is only as good as the soil it came from.

• The broken narratives around “organic” and “regenerative” labeling.

• The link between glyphosate, public health decline, and deceptive supply chains.

• Transitioning from conventional to regenerative farming without losing your livelihood.

• Localizing food economies through decentralization.
